[quote=Anonymous]Let's say your mom (who we'll assume you like) adopted you. Would you say she isn't your mom? To me, biology isn't the sole determinant of who should be called mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, etc. It's who serves in that role. It stinks that you had a crappy, abusive grandfather. You're free to disown him, but he was still the man who served as your grandfather and your parent's father. Bio grandpa was not in the picture, right? I'm not sure that trying to deny he was your grandfather solves the emotional pain you have, but I understand why you think it may. Of course, do as you please, just offering another perspective. Tread carefully with who you share long-held family secrets with. Sometimes those revelations cause more pain then anything else. In these situations I always ask myself, "is there a [i]benefit[/i] for this other person to have this information?" [/quote]
